Nokia Night of the Proms with BOY George!!



The hall was really big and there where so many people!
I didn’t buy a seating ticket, because it was so expensive. As it turned out, standing was much better, because I got to stand in the front row! So I had a great view PLUS I had the honor to stand very close to Boy George’s mum!!!
Here's my review:
(Sorry that there aren’t many pictures but I was busy watching/enjoying the show!) The Boy George pictures I have taken during the show, the ones of the other artists I googled so you can see what they looked like.

I'm now talking about all the artists:
I start with the orchestra... because they were kind of the main musicians here, they were fantastic! They really did a damn good job!
That electric band was great too :)



Cliff Richards:
He was fantastic. He did a great performance and had a nice voice.






Kid Creole and the Coconuts:
Oh well, Kid Creole mad awesome music! I didn’t like the coconuts voices (but that’s maybe because they were women – and I don’t like  woman’s voices that much). I kind of liked Kid Creole’s outfit! 





Lichtmond:
Well that’s a band which I didn’t like. The girl had a nice voice, but she sang too often with a very high voice. This was really annoying!! Also, I thought that the lyrics and the music didn’t really fit together. This guy’s voice I didn’t like either. All in all I’d say that this band isn’t quite my cup of tea!




John Miles:


He did a great job! I really enjoyed his show!







Charlie Siem:

This guy is from England, I think that he and Boy George might be friends. I saw him talking with Boy’s mother – which was in front of me. I’m pretty sure that he also wore clothes from Boy’s collection (B-Rude)!
Anyway, he was fantastic! He didn’t sing, he just played his violin. Siem was really good playing his violin, I absolutely enjoyed listening to it!






Boy George:

Last but not least, the reason why I went to Nokia Night of the Proms: Boy George!

Considering that he isn’t the youngest anymore, I had to see him perform! Also Boy doesn’t tour too often outside England anymore. – I wish I could’ve seen Culture Club back in the days live, but I’m too young. So this was my only chance (other than flying to England) to get to see Boy George’s live performance.
He still looks stunning, after all he went through! I liked his glittery make-up and the clothes he was wearing (From his own collection – B-Rude)! His performance was great! His voice still is really good and I absolutely enjoyed his performance. He sang “victims” (such a beautiful song!); “do you really want tohurt me” (a very famous Culture Club song); “you’re always on my mind”, "KarmaChameleon" (also very famous song by Culture Club), and many more…
